On social media and short-form video apps, people gush that the locations look even more cinematic in person\u2014some even say they feel like foreign destinations. Those reactions have pushed Suyang-myeon\u2019s hidden spots into the national spotlight as go-to emotional travel destinations.<\/p>\n
The hottest draw is Awon Gotaek in Oseong Hanok Village. A 250-year-old hanok sits beside a modern exposed-concrete gallery, creating the surreal, dreamlike overlap of past and present that the series brought to life.<\/p>\n
Visitors perch on the daechongmaru, just like the characters, and pose against the sweeping view of Jongnamsan\u2014it’s the photo everyone wants when they want to feel like they\u2019ve stepped into a scene.<\/p>\n
Already famous as a BTS photoshoot location, the site has cemented its status as a must-see emotional travel spot following the drama\u2019s success.<\/p>\n
Another highlight is Suyang Gotaek, a peaceful hanok framed by a minimalist traditional garden. It appears in many emotionally charged scenes, drawing viewers deeper into the story.<\/p>\n
Sunlight slipping beneath the eaves and the surrounding nature earned rave reviews for completing the show\u2019s visual palette. Lately, more visitors are booking hanbok try-ons and docent-led tours, turning the place into somewhere people want to linger rather than just pass through.<\/p>\n
The show\u2019s scenic backdrops also attract crowds. Downhill from Oseong Hanok Village, Oseongje Reservoir\u2014with its iconic lone tree and glassy surface\u2014casts a quietly mysterious vibe.<\/p>\n
Where the series filmed a romantic signature scene, the reservoir is now a go-to for date outings, moody short videos, and portrait shoots. At sunset, the light spreading over the water becomes cinematic, leaving visitors breathless.<\/p>\n
Across Suyang-myeon, the county offers hands-on activities that let you soak up the drama\u2019s refined cultural mood. At the traditional-style Pungnyu School, a mindfulness healing program pairs tea ceremony with meditation to help visitors unwind. Nearby Bonggangyo runs popular one-day pottery classes where you can throw clay alongside master potters.<\/p>\n
Visitors love these immersive experiences because they get to touch clay, sip ceremonial tea, and refill their emotional tanks\u2014this is less sightseeing and more a sensory mini-retreat.<\/p>\n
The magic continues with the ten-ri cherry blossom road leading to Songgwangsa Temple (about 2.4 miles), a spring highlight in Suyang-myeon. Driving under the cherry blossom tunnel, you can\u2019t help but feel like a character in a drama.<\/p>\n
Ahn Hyeong-suk, head of the Tourism and Festivals Division, said, \u201cThanks to the popularity of ’21st Century Grand Madam,’ Suyang-myeon\u2014the actual filming area\u2014has emerged as a fresh emotional tourism destination. This spring, we hope visitors come to Wanju\u2019s Suyang-myeon to experience the beautiful scenery and traditional sensibility from the screen firsthand.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
